Floating
Restaurant for Villafound
The project is located in a farmland with a beautiful environment in Guangdong Province. Surrounded by the water, the design combines the irregular column spacing scales that have been constructed to carry out the conception and creativity. It extracts inspiration from the traditional Hakka houses in rural China, adopting the undulating roof form to echo the water wave. In the interior, the fish-shaped decorations are used to intersperse the waterscape and try to complement each other.
